Theme: Giant Steps

Eight Lehigh Valley residents have ideas that they think can change the world. And they’re going to deliver their powerful and compelling concepts at the second annual TEDx Lehigh River event, Sept. 27, 2014, 1 p.m., at Miller Symphony Hall in Allentown. The theme of "Giant Steps" reflects both the renewal that is taking place in downtown Allentown and the power of individual ideas.

A community-based volunteer initiative, TEDx Lehigh River is an independently organized TED event that brings together a diverse group of speakers and audience members to participate in a program of engaging and thought-provoking presentations and conversation. The first TEDx Lehigh River was held in April 2013 with the Allentown Symphony Association, Lehigh University, and PBS39 as the founding partners.

TEDx Lehigh River is modeled after hundreds of other TEDx events worldwide.

A limited number of free tickets will be available to watch the presentations live. Interested individuals must submit their request to attend along with an explanation of why they want to be part of the TEDx Lehigh River experience. A subcommittee of TEDx Lehigh River will curate the submissions and identify audience members most likely to share the presenters’ passion for original, breakthrough ideas.

Ticket requests are due by September 12; selected attendees will be notified by e-mail by September 17. Because of the limited number of tickets, each interested attendee must submit his or her own request.
